Abstract

Data generated from an online veterinary genetics counseling service from November 1, 2018 to October 31, 2019 were reviewed. Data
were tabulated regarding the individual submitting the inquiry and relationship to the pet, species, breed, and medical issue(s) thought
to be familial. Inquiries were assigned to 1 or more of the following: risk assessment and heritability, pre-breeding testing and pedigree
review, and information regarding a specific mutation or minor health concern. This study demonstrated that clients are desirous for
information that could help promote health in canine companions. Furthermore, there is an interest and need for additional genetic
resources for both veterinarians and owners.
